15 Amazing Google Projects That Failed!


#6 iGoogle

iGoogle was a personalized homepage where a user could customize the Google homepage with ‘Gadgets’ such as new feed, Google Chat, countdown timer, daily literary quote, and games. The Company felt that the need for a customizable homepage is no longer required. “With modern apps that run on platforms like Chrome and Android, the need for something like iGoogle has eroded over time,” announced the company. iGoogle will retire on November 1, 2013.

Google Notebook was an application that allowed user to browse, clip, and organize information anywhere from the web on to a single online location that can be accessible from any computer. This browser-based tool allowed users to share information with others for collaboration and could also make the notebook public. Google started shifting the notebook data to Google docs in November 2011 and by July 2012 Notebook was shut down. On its website Google stated, “We loved working on Notebook but with recent innovations and improvements to Google Docs, we think it’s a great replacement for Notebook".
